Sound quality wise, is it worth my time to sell off my PC360 and pick up the HD598 (powered by Xonar DGX)? Mic isn't a big deal to me. In general, I'm just looking for an upgrade over my PC360. I feel I'm not getting the best positional audio/clarity I want.

There are some users that don't like the "open" aspect of the HD5xx series. They don't block background noise as much as some people would like. I like that about them because then I am not as isolated from the "real" world. I have three pairs of HD5xx headphones and wouldn't buy anything else.

I think I saw somewhere that one would want an open back for a larger soundstage and better positional sound. I thoroughly enjoy my PC360s and have had them for two years, but I want an upgrade for under $250. Any suggestions?

Also planning on purchasing the Fiio E10k amp/dac.
